Hina: nifty little humanoid robot makes coffee

One of the most popular videos in Nico Nico Douga, Japan’s video-sharing community, is this nifty little robot that makes coffee: preparing the cups and dripper, grinding the beans, filtering the coffee and pouring the finished product into a cup.

Hina, a little humanoid robot, is the creation of mujaki (Blog), and is based on Kondo‘sKHR-2HV, with modified parts around the joints and especially the head. mujaki says it took 3 months to complete the mods to make the robot more human-like.
